How humiliating is that?
SEATTLE (AP) -- Pete Carroll flapped his arms, imploring his new home fans to get into the game. At one point, Seattle's new coach was yanked off the field by an official after wandering too far out on the field following an enthusiastic celebration.
Eleven years after he last coached an NFL game, Carroll thoroughly enjoyed his return to pro football.
"He was probably the most enthusiastic person in the place. I got to say his energy was maybe even a little above mine and I haven't played in that long so I was pretty excited," Seattle linebacker Lofa Tatupu said. "Pete wants to get out there and hit."
Matt Hasselbeck threw for two touchdowns and ran for another as the Seahawks gave their new coach a 31-6 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.
Back on an NFL sideline for the first time since 1999, Carroll was marching up and down, almost constantly in motion. The only times he stood still was when he was giving congratulations to his players as they came off the field.
